• Maintain stable and resilient infrastructure by completing upgrades, patches, and other operational activities.

• Configure and manage monitoring and logging solutions to support the health, reliability, and performance of applications and infrastructure.

• Apply infrastructure modernization practices, including updated Azure policies, authentication approaches, infrastructure as code, and Terraform-based deployments.

• Implement security best practices and support compliance with applicable industry standards and regulations.

• Assess complex projects, prioritize competing requirements, develop accurate time estimates, complete work on schedule, and communicate changes and status updates to stakeholders.

• Evaluate evolving infrastructure and application-deployment technologies and apply relevant practices to supported environments.

• Provide remote support for global operations and participate in a rotating on-call schedule supporting a 24/7 global environment.

Desired Competencies:

• Technical / Functional Expertise: You apply the required technical or professional knowledge to perform your role effectively and stay current within your area of expertise.

• 4+ years of experience with CI/CD tools and practices, including technologies such as Azure DevOps, GitHub, and Terraform.

• 4+ years of experience with AWS and/or Microsoft Azure cloud platforms, with experience managing Azure services such as API Management, App Service, Function Apps, Service Bus, and Storage Accounts preferred.
